How long as the Peppermint Linux project been underway?
Kendall Weaver – Peppermint technically started back in January at the local pub after Shane and I got into a conversation about the future of desktop Linux, what has kept certain distributions from becoming more mainstream, and what we would do differently if we had the opportunity. We thought up the name almost immediately and it came from us wanting to do something in a similar vein as Linux Mint, but a lot “spicier” if you will. I fooled around with a number of different ideas and did a lot of research as to exactly how to go about building Peppermint. I finally had a solid game plan in late March which led to our Private Beta a few weeks later.
